The smell of tear gas in the morning

Looking for a good time? Does your version of fun include chanting slogans and the potential for violent confrontations? If so, you might be interested to know Vancouver's peaceniks are organizing a protest march against American president George W. Bush, who is making his first state visit to Canada. That march, which is scheduled to begin at noon on November 30, will start at Canada Place and end at the United States consulate. Another protest is scheduled for 5:00 the same day at the Vancouver Art Gallery. All of which should keep the Vancouver Police Department quite busy.

All I can say is that this idea is not only completely redundant, but completely retarded as well. What's the protest going to do? Make Bush cancel his state visit? Or stop him from being the President? All it's going to do is waste a whole lot of tax money on policing that didn't have to be wasted. The Americans obviously re-elected George Bush because they liked him more than Kerry, so why the hell are these leftist whacks organizing these protests? Imagine how moronic and unwelcoming it would make Canadians look.

Ain't that the truth. The leftist whacks cost us nothing but money: now they want to keep all our softwood lumber money. Since we've outsourced our medical administration to the whacks, Howez (street) about we contract out the policing for the protest to all the DEA and Navy Seals in Vancouver.

We leftist whacko peaceniks do these marches because it's a way to tell the Canadian government that we don't want any part of the current American government's foreign policy. We appear to have been successful in keeping Canada out of Iraq. With the Canadian government considering supporting the Bush administration's revived Star Wars project, it's probably a good time to be marching (if you think like an unwelcoming, moronic leftist whack).

sounds like a great opportunity for the VPD to brush up on taser and tear gas skills. these leftist whiners are starting to get a bit tiring. so if we have to waste tax dollars policing their whining, why not combine it with a training exercise?

They seem to be pretty resilient, bouncing back from even the most severest thrashing, ready to burn an american flag or break things at APEC, G7, Guns N' Roses concerts, state visits - so let's start using them to help contribute to society rather than have them constantly complaining about society and globalization, while they chat & post rants to their blogs and websites with their LAPTOPS, MOBILE PHONES and other products of the society and economy they seem to hate so much.
